Sixty years later a young couple moves into a house built on the ancient grounds and their daughter's murder leaves the house abandoned for yet another forty years. Now, six fun loving college students are hired to clean up the house for a greedy real estate mogul who plans to sell it for a large profit. They unwittingly awake the demon and only the ultimate sacrifice can save the world from a future of unspeakable evil.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Humaira Grant

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Six college students get a job cleaning up a rundown old abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. The group find themselves in considerable jeopardy after they stumble across an ancient spell book and accidentally awaken a bloodthirsty she demon (Adriana Mejia in gnarly make-up) from its many decades of slumber so it can wreak havoc on the living.Writer/director Jay Lee delivers a satisfying smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity, a smidgen of strenuous sex, oodles of tacky, yet grisly in-your-face splatter, and an amusing sense of sharp'n'sarcastic humor to ensure that this blithely inane opus remains enjoyable from start to finish. Moreover, the silly and derivative story not only happily rips off everything from "The Evil Dead" to "Night of the Demons," but also is rife with such howlers as a nude distaff spirit who's clearly wearing panties in a few shots and the uproarious fact that the so-called clean-up crew are never seen picking up a single broom or dust rag in order to do the work that they were hired to do. The acceptable acting from the competent no-name cast further keeps this picture on track: Jessica Custodio as the sassy Dana, Zack Kilberg as the likable Iggy, Terry Eriosky as irritating brainiac jerk Tyler, Billy Beck as zonked-out pothead Razz, Laura Bach as saucy tease Heather, Travis Wood as obnoxious and abrasive toolbag Brandon, Jen Alex as the bitchy Alexandra, and Brad Milne as overbearing jerk new owner Carl Stevens. The (not so) special effects are decidedly shoddy, yet still funky just the same. Both Lee's slick'n'stylish cinematography and Chauncey Mahan's shuddery ooga-booga score are up to speed. Fun trash.

Don't plan on Citizen Kane. It really is a blend of Shaun of Dead and Evil Dead. The advantage is - it has awesome nudity - if that's your thing. From about 10 minutes in to 50, its pretty bad, but the opening and the final are great. well worth a viewing. If you're not expecting a lot of quality throughout - you will not be disappointed. Like i said, the last 15-20 minutes are really funny though. There's a great debate about the old school zombies versus new zombies that i thought was very Scream like and funny. Also a wonderful dialogue about 1:20 between the brother and sister that is reminiscent Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.

This movie starts out as a potential cult film, then quickly proceeds to take a Kamakazi dive into suck. Every film festival that gave this movie an award should have its license revoked for incompetence. The "acting", and I used the term "acting" sarcastically, will give you a headache. A porno has better acting...and better lighting, and better story. The actors had absolutely no chemistry and were too clueless to know when they were suppose to be scared. The director/writer was probably too busy dreaming up fx gimics that haven't been used since the invention of sound. A note to any "filmmakers", if you don't have the budget to make a real horror movie, then at least do yourself a favor and make it a horror comedy. That way people can at least get a laugh out of the campy entertainment value. My roommates made me do laundry and dishes for a week, and I'm officially banned from bringing home anymore horror flicks.

This movie is really something a group of 12 yr olds would film. Being a lover of horror movies, this movie actually shows me the meaning of "horrible". The acting is bad, the plot is worse.Everything is fine up to the part where the four people died of the four elements, Water, Fire, Air and Earth. None of these have any sense in them.Water - Heather only died when she was pulled under water the second time. How ridiculous is this? The demon is an ancient demon, bend on taking over the world with her evil sorcery powers, would she give anyone a second chance? Worse of all, on the second time when Heather was pulled in, she showed absolutely no emotions as the demon tugged at her leg. Amateur acting.Fire - If you people can remember, Tyler actually saw all the fuel rising to the roof of the basement. Anybody would have ran or back off after a few second, and what did he do? Continue staring till he got burnt. Really disgusting acting.Air - Brandon actually did better with his fear when he saw the demon, but its the plot that kills. Who would climb up a chute when a demon is screaming in front of you? The plot for this is terrible.Earth - While this guy is smoking his weed, he saw the demon and thought it was hallucination. That was OK until the demon disappeared into the ground. And he did what most movie does, looked real closed at the hole. When he stood up and got pulled by the hand, a close look reveals that he did not even struggle. He just try to shake the demon off. Its a demon for God Sake! Not a dog biting on his pants! They tried to pull off a Shaun Of The Dead comedy while tackling with the zombie of Carl. They can never succeed in that with their mediocre acting! If the actors and actresses are better ones, this scene would have been the highlight. This is one of the scenes that killed the movie.Lastly,Dana in the final "spell" room scene is extremely bad. How can one negotiate with a demon, while her friend(Iggy) is struggling to keep all the zombies out?! This is the plot's matter again, and if a good horror movie director have seen the script with this scene, he would have torn the papers to shreds.This movie would have gotten a single star from me if not for Iggy's explanation about the demon and its origin. A detailed explanation is needed for a movie on ancient demons and ghouls, and Iggy pulled it off. Other than that, this movie is simply not up to the standard.
